The future is a question mark
It’s 'other', 'decline to answer'
Walks the line between pink and blue
Raises eyebrows in changing rooms
The future is terrifying
It hates outsiders, crushes difference
Steals away hard-won freedoms
Keeps the closet doors locked
~
The future is exciting
It’s a blank page, waiting to be filled
With rough drafts, slow revisions,
First steps along an unknown path
The future is queer
It comes in, striding confidently
In battered DMs, draped in flags
Defiant, head held high in the parade
The future is unknown
But it’s rainbow-bright
And it’s ours.
